Hi I'm not sure if Rob/Glen/Richie/Ian & Scott will see this as I understand they are very busy people. I saw them live up in Calgary Alberta when they toured for Angel of Retribution on the Ozzy Monsters of Rock Show than I saw them a second time in Edmonton Alberta for the Epitaph tour both were amazing ! I know the band is scaling back their world tours but I was wondering the touring that they will do for Redeemer of Souls Is it possible the band will play places this time around that they never been to ? Sure would love to see them come to Halifax nova scotia here in Canada. I know they'd sell alot of tickets. Black Sabbath recently came and sold out the place at the Metro Centre in Halifax. As well I don't know if it's really up to them where they go to play as it's probaly more the bookers or promoters who make that call I'm guessing. Anyhow can't wait to get the newalbum.

Hi Folks I know a lot of people on this board play guitar. I was wondering if you guys could give me some help? I have a Marshall 100 mg fx. I've been mostly playing a epiphone sg special with a Seymour Duncan invader in the bridge. I use Dean Markley 12's for strings and tune to usually c and b. Right now I have it at d . My effects are a boss hyper metal/danelectro fish & chips 7 band eq/behringer ultra chorus uc-200/danelectro fab echo/boss harmonist ps-6/mxr smart gate. No matter what I do I find that my tone sounds too muddy no matter how much I adjust the eq or distortion.Even trying to adjust the gain,mid and bass doesn't seem to help. Can anyone give me some advice ? Maybe I have a crappy amp or I just have to keep fiddling around with the pedals and amp settings . Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Folks just wondering if an other Priest fans on the site here ever trace their family roots ? I've been trying to get into it myself. I found out that my Great Grandfather on my Dad's side came from the same place Priest are from which is pretty cool. Apparently he was born in Birmingham,England. Just wondering if any other Priest fans have any advice for family research ? thanks

Hi guys don't know if you'll see this posting because I know how busy you guys are but just wanted to let you know I got my tickets for the Show in Edmonton Alberta Canada.This will be my 2nd time seeing you live.I'm looking forward to it.Take care and have a safe journey on your tour.

I don't mean any disrespect to your posting. I'm sad that KK has decided to call it quits but that's how it is. As for him being Cryptic I think him Rob ,Ian,Glen & Scott shouldn't have to divulge every sorted thing that they do. I think these people were more than band members,They were friends as well.Rob,Glen,Ian & KK knew each other for many years and just because they're world renowned and famous I don't think they have to be obligated to anyone to divulge everything they discuss or do behind the scenes.They're people like the rest of us and have a right to their privacy.They don't have to tell us every sorted detail about their lives. KK had his reasons to do what he did and I don't think it makes him any worse of a person for doing so.I think people are upset over his departure because the timing was bad because of the fourthcoming tour.Even if the other guys knew about I think they still have a right to their privacy.Again I'll miss KK and hope he'll come back one day because both he & Glen were such an influence on me to pick up a guitar..Good Luck on all your Future endeavors KK..

Downing: "There has been an ongoing breakdown in working relationship between myself, elements of the band, and the band's management for some time."

Why is he so cryptic? "Elements of the band". What exactly does that mean? Come out and tell everyone exactly why you refuse to go on and give Judas Priest a proud ending! There can't be a Farewell tour without KK Downing - NO guitarist is going to feel comfortable trying to hit Downing's licks/solos and it's not going to sound like Judas Priest.

And HALFORD knew all about this before Christmas!!! So he's been lying! Before and after Christmas he's been talking about this huge Farewell Tour and album and he knew all along that Downing had trouble with it all!

I agree there are people that don't know who Priest are but at the same token I think the point Justin was trying to make was that MTV could have got someone who was up on this type of Music and knew some history about the band rather than getting one of there little Gimps to do a plug when it was suppossed to be an interview of Priest not to market off a really tasteless and bad Tv Show.[Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by Eternal Servant from Sunday, October 31, 2010 2:15:41 AM)

It's reality that there are ppl who don't know Judas Priest at all.
If someone asks me about 5th famous country musician or the top leader of African country, I wouldn't know.
She should've checked names and pics of nominees but probably she couldn't remember all.

This incident, as an example, shows Judas Priest that they have still reasons to continue spreading Heavy F*cking Metal !

I agree it wasn't a good interview in regards that the Twit from Jersey shore was interviewing them.They Could have least got someone with a functioning Brain Cell other than Snookie. I personally thought She was both Rude and Unprofessional whoring off her show when it was supposed to be an interview about Priest. I'm sure if Rob or Glen or KK and Ian or Scott had the chance to interview someone for example Randy Couture or Chuck Lidell I'm sure they'd be professionals about it and ask questions about there Fight career and MMA.I'm sure they wouldn't bring up Priest through the whole interview.I think they'd have more respect for other people than the lack of respect that the Twat from Jersey Shore doled out on them.

After watching video of Rob and Scott's "Interview" at the grammys I am disgusted.
Here is the greatest heavy metal band in the world on the red carpet and who do they get interviewed by?: one of the skanks from jersey shore. She didn't even know who they were. Instead of even trying to ask ANY relevant question to the band it was: "Who are you?" and "Have you seen my show?".
I know I am biased because PRIEST is my favorite band, but MTV clearly showed no respect to the true pioneers of metal music. They just sent their "representative" to get 15 minutes of more publicity for their show. I have nothing against self promotion, but do it properly and not by treating music legends as an afterthought because they think Judas Priest is a band no one still cares about.
I still care.

This was just too cool. At Pearl Harbor / USS Arizona Memorial, I come across this old gentleman who had tears in his eyes while reading the names. As I was close to him, he asks if I'd take his picture and we struck up a little conversation. Turns out he was a 93 year old Navy man who was stationed there. I believe that he was on an aircraft carrier as he was out to sea on the day of the attack.

It was 3 years this month my Grandad passed away. I miss him alot.I thought it would be fitting to post here in this thread since he was a Veteran of World War II. I miss you alot Grandpa. Pvt. Palmer O. Griffiths Hq Det 1st Rgt First Special Service Force "The Black Devils" 1924-2008 RIP.

I did post this another thread but I thought it would be fitting for this one. I apologise because I hope it's not considered spam. I just found out Major Dick Winters of Band of Brothers fame passed away. It made me cry my eys out because my own GrandDad was a veteran of the Second World War. Anyhow just wanted to pay my respects. Major Richard D. Winters. 1918 - 2011

I just found out that Major Dick Winters of the 101st Band of Brothers has passed away. That was in January. People are trying to push for him to get the Congressional Medal Of honor. He was a remarkable man and will be missed. Major Richard D. Winters. 1918 - 2011

Heart of A Lion would also be a good one.I'm not sure if you guys can play this one since I read somewhere that the track was written for and given to Racer X. I heard your version and it blew me away ! Another rare Priest Gem.

Take These Chains
Living Bad Dreams
Starbreaker
One Shot at Glory

I think I'd be a little choked up myself talking to the Vet. I'm glad these guys are sharing there memories with us.[Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by guidogodoy from Friday, January 14, 2011 11:45:45 PM)

The battle of the Bulge was a real bad one.Alot of guys were Killed there but The 101st held out at Bastogne even when they were surrounded.Read quite a bit about Bastogne and The Bulge and Band Of Brothers was an Excellent mini series.B y the way I found out that close to where I live here in Canada my GrandDad's outfit are having there annual Reunion.They Have it one year in the U.S. and another in Canada Since The First Special service Force consisted of both American and Canadian Troops.Would really like to go to it because family members of Forcemen are welcome to attend.

HI to Rob/Scott/Glen/KK & Ian. I don't know if you guys will see this post due to the fact you're on a really busy schedule but none the less.I want to say thanks for all the great music you made and how much you touched my life and made me love the Genre known as Heavy Metal.If it wasn't for you all I don't know if I would have picked up a guitar.Glen & KK were such an inspiration to me along with the rest of you. I'm sure you hear this from alot of fans all around the world.The happiest Day of my life was when I saw you Live in Calgary Alberta Canada 2008 for the first time in my life.Your music made me happy and for a fleeting moment could take me away and forget all the rotten things that happen in this world.Thank you so much for the memories and great music. I have to admit I'm a little sad and perhaps teary eyed this is your last tour. Thank you so much for bringing your music into my life and all the other Priest fans around the world..Warmest Regards..Palmer Griffiths..Edited at: Saturday, January 01, 2011 12:48:39 AM

So Sad to hear that this is going to be Priest's last tour. I know they're getting up in years and I'm sure the touring gets hard on the body after doing it as long as they have. I wonder if they will go off and do solo projects or produce etc? All I have to say is they made a lasting impression on me and were such a big influence.It won't be the same without them around. I'm a little sad right now.

Anyone here ever get the opportunity to try the Uber Metal Distortion by Line 6 ? I heard demos of it.I'm curious to try it myself and maybe buy one.Correct me If I'm wrong I think it has a bulit in noise gate.Lots of high gain on it. What I heard through the demos of it sounded really good but I guess I'd have to try it for myself. I have a Danelectro fab tone that I quite like.There Pedals aren't that expensive and for what they cost they have a pretty descent sound but I guess that's just all a matter of personal taste and opinion because I know it's like comparing apples to oranges I suppose.Some guys will tell you" This Pedal or this amp is crap !" while others will tell you the oppossite and praise it up and down. Anyhow just wondering if any of you guys tried the Uber Metal.Would like to hear your opinions on this product. Cheers!..

Anyone here see that Movie I just watched it the other night? Not trying to sound like a pussy but I cried my eyes out.It made me think of my GrandDad who passed away in 2008.He was a member of the First Special Service force " The Black Devils".He told me alot about his war time experiences in World War II.We were really close.To this day I miss him Alot.He received the bronze star from the U.S. Government for his service. I know when the movie came out in the theatre my Dad tried to take him to see it but he didn't want to go . I guess it would just bring up old bad memories of the war. If anyone is interested in finding out about his unit here's a link

I only have a memory of what I once used, but here is a list, some of which I still have most I don`t
Marshall JCM 800 2205 (20 plus years, but gone now)
Marshall JCM900 2500 SL-X (for a few months)
2 Marshall 1960 cabs(a&b)
Boss pedals were
DS-1 distortion(still have, though not the original one)
2 DD-3 digital delays
OD-1 overdrive
CE-(?) chorus
GE-7 eq (the old model)
Flanger( only for a short time)
And other brands
Rocktron Silver Dragon (still have)
Rocktron Hush (pedal version)
Dunlop Dimebag Wah pedal
BBE sonic maximizer(pedal version)
I used BC Rich American series guitars(the Gunslinger models) with Dimarzio`s at first, later switching to Duncans and have had a couple of Epiphione Les pauls, a Jackson USA model and currently have a Peavey HP Special that is on my profile page.
Strings back then(late 80`s early 90`s) were GHS boomers, now going with Ernie Ball Slinkies
Always used .009-.042 gauge and only tune down a half step.
But now I`m doing the domestic thing with kids and I only play thru my son`s Fender G-Dec amp!!(Quoting Message by Palmer Griffiths from Tuesday, June 29, 2010 7:35:16 PM)

It is best to always put an overdrive/distortion pedal in front of an amp . This way any efx you have in the loop can do their jobs better.Or just put them after the OD/Dist. in the chain.
remember this little phrase
it`s better to process your distortion than to distort your processing. plus you can boost the level in the loop to help make the guitar seem much more touch sensitive and(if using a tube amp) drive the post harder.
Most onboard efx are only middle of the road as tey are digital, but using something that small to do so many things, the processing power suffers , giving not quite what you want. But either way, still plenty good for home use.

Yeah Gus G. is good.I heard his stuff he did in Firewind as well saw him doing some tunes with Ozzy which was on You tube.It sounded pretty good to me.[Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by guitardude from Thursday, June 24, 2010 6:16:01 PM)

It's funny you mention that Man.Because alot of people I've read reviews on about the amp say the same thing you're saying about the on board FX and as for the Overdrive a few chaps were saying get an overdrive pedal to give it some guts.When I got the Amp I tried the Dave Mustaine Dean Signature V through it.I found it uncomfortable. I was scratching my head a bit because I was trying to run a distortion pedal through the effects loop at the back and it didn't sound too good to me and the manual for the amp really didn't explain clearly to me that you should only run effects like an Eq,Chorus,Flanger through the back. I went back to the music store and the salesman told me to run the distortion through the input at the front. My face was red I felt like a dummy. Oh well .

Ya - tried it - wasn't convinced with the onboard FX. The MG series were pretty good...but i prefer the RCD models with my own FX. Soz. Still - good for home i guess...better off (IMO) with a straight amp and either multi or seperate pedal FX in a live situation. As for the V -fine if u play standing...at home u have to jam the 'v' bit into ur thigh...not a really comfy axe. (Just my humble opinions).

I'm very sad to hear about Ronnie James Dio passing away yesterday. Dio (next to Judas Priest) was my all time favourite band/singer.

I looked up to Dio for his encouraging lyrics. His voice will be missed by many...however, we have the memories and the music. I spent 6 hours in my room playing my guitar along to many of his cds. It was all I could do to pay tribute to a man who (in spirit) taught me how to write songs.

Don't worry. My first JP concert was also in 2008 and I also couldn't help but cry my butt off when I saw the band in the flesh. There's just something special about seeing your favorite band for the first time....the band that helped you live the good times and helped you survive the bad, and even inspire you to play an instrument. Speaking of which, I've also been itchin' to play a guitar ever since I heard Judas Priest's music... thankfully I now have my own electric guitar (sans amp), and have been playing it for about eight months.

I don't know if I'm going a little off topic here but as I've gotten older I've gotten a little more cynical. I don't really believe alot of what the media feeds us or what Politicians tell us. I think George Carlin was right when he said we have the illusion that we have freedom of choice.The only freedom of choice we're limited to is Glazed or Jelly donuts,Smoking or non Smoking.I think politicians are there as smoke screens and window dressing and big business is calling the shots. A select few are the ones that are making the major decisions ex: the big corporations and the lobbyists who influence policies that are made.Anyhow that's just my opinon. Check this out

I just read a book called A Perfect Hell by John Nadler.It's about a unit my GrandDad served in during World War II called the First Special Service Force "The Black Devils". He told me a few things when he was in it but the book gave me some more insight into the scope of what he was involved with.Sadly he passed away last year.

I have a Samick with a floyd Rose.Good Axe Really like it. I'm thinking about trying out the Hellraiser Avenger by Schecter.Has anyone on here played that guitar? As well just wondering what axe people are playing here.

Well it would take me along time to list this.Overall I think alot of mainstream music is horrible and overated and boring. I remember a time when good acts were getting a real big push for example: Iron Maiden ,Judas Priest,Dio etc. etc. These artists gave the fans there moneys worth put out great albums and great shows and nowadays there's alot of overated crap being signed. I know it's all a matter of personal taste but that's my opinion.

Does he do it before he goes to sleep? What if he forgets? The thing is, boys and girls and DC, nature provides. NATURE PROVIDES! What? Well, in this case, ass-plugs!!! The fur around the bears anus sticks together and plugs his bunghole, so that the bear cannot shit during hybernation! YAAAY!!! Nature saves the day again! Not those powerpuff girls...

Well, the above is a testament of what being bored at work does to a person. The above is also true. Kind of. Sort of. I dont really know. I saw it on a wildlife documentary. Heard actualy, yes I heard it. Not saw it. I wouldnt want to see a bears ass plug.

Hi folks! I saw Priest live this past summer in Calgary,Alberta.They were amazing! I think it would be great though if they added some rare tracks into there set list. The tracks that didn't make it to albums but were released as bonus tracks on the Remasters. Songs like : Prisoner of your Eyes,Fire Burns below,Turn on your Light. I think Heart of A lion would be a great track for them to play live.I know Racer X released it some years back but I really like Priest's version of the track.In my opinion that song is a gem and I think it would sound awesome live.

Well Some are saying there's Different reasons why the Russians are there. One of them is that Georgia which is a former Satellite State of the Soviet Union wants NATO membership and The Russian Government is Vehemetly oopossed to it because apparently they see NATO as a threat to them and already a few Former Soviet Bloc countries are now NATO members one of them being Poland and another the Czech Republic . Apparently the Ukraine is seeking NATO membership as well.Analysts say that Russia sees that as a growing concern because it's happening right at there Doorstep.Other reasons are there is an oil pipeline running through there to the Caspian Sea which is in Both the interests of the United States and Russia. Despite that there are break away states from Georgia that the Russians are saying that Georgia will not get back these are supposed to be some of the reasons.

Hey folks I've been watching the news about the Georgia-Russia conflict. Seems Frightening.Hope it doesn't destablise the world with all the stuff right now that's going on with Iraq and Afghanistan it's kind of scarey hope it doesn't lead to worse things...Anyone have opinions onm the subject?

Glen and KK can do alot of fancy technique with their gutair playing.Some people look down on finger tapping and such.Both Glen and KK I think are different from most guitar players because they are such great song writers as well Especially with Rob. I mean they can Shred and do all that flashy stuff but at the same time I think they have something that alot don't which is the ability to write memorable songs and melodies. I think that's what stes them apart from alot of other musicians.Opinions anyone?

Actually I have no idea why she did that.Either she was trying to get close to the stage or get involved with the mosh who knows.Most of the people that were doing it were younger people.Most of the older crowd that I could see weren't into it , but there was the odd older person that wanted to test themselves in the mosh.As for me it's just not my cup of tea.It was happening towards the front of the stage but it was a select few people that were doing it.

They were on the Ozzy Osbourne Monsters of Rock tour and there set blew me away ! only problem I had was with the moshing. I think I'm a little old for that and well I just want to be in the crowd and enjoy the show and sing along with the music without having to pick my spleen up off the floor *LOL* Hey if people want to mosh than cool but hey not everybody wants to do that. I just want to kick back sing along and enjoy the show.As well there was the odd member of " The Idiot Population" who got full up on Liquid courage that was itching to start a fight and wreck the good time of others and as Danny Glover said in Lethal weapon " I'M TOO OLD FOR THIS SHIT !" *LOL* anyhow I may get some criticism for my post , But hey I'm just expressing my opnion. I want to go to a show where I payed my hard earned money to enjoy and not have my back thrown out ,my nose broke or teeth knocked out or deal with some idiot who can't hold his liquor wanting to start a fight and wreck my good time and that of others who payed there money to enjoy the show.I'd like to be able to go home afterwards to my baby daughter in one piece. Anyhow Priest did an excellent set and they didn't dissapoint.They were well worth my hard earned money so anyhow to the rest of the fans be safe and When Priest comes around enjoy the show because they won't dissapoint.

Hi fellas ! just sending you this message from Devon a little town outside Edmonton Alberta Canada.I saw you guys last night at the Ozzy Osbourne Monsters of Rock show in Calgary.It was a dream come true! Well mainly because I'm originally from Cape Breton Nova Scotia and unfortunately down there we don't really get the opportunity to see a big act Like Judas Priest. I was blown away by your set and got as close to the stage as I could and sang along to the music. I've been a big fan since I was a little kid.It was a great experience to finally see you live for the first time and was well worth my hard earned money.Regretably when tickets went on Sale I didn't find out till the last minute you were playing Edmonton because I understand you like the other bands at Ozzy's gig were only alotted so much time on stage would love to see you at the Edmonton show do all your stuff but unfortunately I couldn't afford to get tickets after this Show I was at. Anyhow thanks for giving me a great memory and experience and I hope you'll roll through Alberta again soon..Thank you..Sincerely,Palmer Griffiths.

Hi Glen,Rob,Scott,KK and Ian ! I know that you may not see my post because I know you're really busy people and you probaly don't have the time to look at this but I can't wait to see you guys in Calgary on July 26th. I've listened to your music since I was a little Kid and Glenn and KK are two of my biggest influences who inspired me to pick up the guitar.Anyhow it's a dream come true ! I never thought I'd see the day that I'd be going to one of your concerts . Anyhow all the best and have a safe journey on your tour..Cheers! ..Sincerely,Palmer Griffiths.
